I'm Scottish through and through ..... so, that certainly means that I am reading too much about Kevin! - as I don't have an ounce of Scottish in my whole family tree!!! (it helps a little that I found a British pub near my house and a British pantry) ... Leanne, wasn't that the city where Kevin participated in some Christmas tree lighting thing? Name sounds familiar...

I'm scottish through and through as well. Now can somebody give me a whisky? Glenmorangie will do just fine. (Actually, I've been in love with Scotland long before I'd ever even heard of Kevin. The Highlands, the Islands, I love it all. Best place in the world to be!)

dutchie Ive just come home from a whisky tasting session so Ive had one for the team actually a few LOL ok here is the article with ref to Lossiemouth THOUSANDS WATCH FILM STAR TURN ON LOSSIEMOUTH'S FESTIVE SEASON LIGHTS HAZEL LAWSON 09:00 - 02 December 2002 Thousands of fans lined the streets of Lossiemouth on Saturday to see film star Kevin McKidd switch on the town's Christmas lights. The Elgin-born actor, who has starred in films including Trainspotting and Dog Soldiers, has recently completed filming in Tomintoul for his new movie The Bum's Rush. Kevin said he was overwhelmed by the response of the crowd as admirers waved and blew kisses as he officially turned on the lights. He said: "It's really nice to be asked to do this. "I just finished filming in Tomintoul and I'm travelling down to Glasgow now, so this has fitted in well." After a slight delay, prompting Kevin to ask someone to put 50p in the electric meter, the lights illuminated Lossiemouth's main thoroughfare, kicking off the festive celebrations. Chairman of the Lossiemouth Millennium Association Michael Burns said the group had raised £70,000 over the past three years, enabling the Christmas lights to be extended for about a mile along Clifton Road. It is the third time the coastal town has welcomed a celebrity to begin its Christmas festivities. Last year, Australian soap star Jansen Spencer, who played Paul McClain in Neighbours, attended the event, while Scottish actor Ewan McGregor, whose brother, Colin, is serving at RAF Lossiemouth, performed the honours. The pipes and drums of 2622 Highland Squadron heralded Kevin's arrival and played him along the esplanade in an open-topped bus. There was also a fairground, fireworks, street entertainers and more than 20 stalls. Kevin will begin working on a new film of Greyfriars' Bobby in January and will appear on television screens next year in the BBC drama The Key, which focuses on political and social change in Glasgow during the past century. There was also a blaze of Christmas colour in Forres and Elgin on Saturday, when hundreds turned out for their lights switch-on. Schoolboy Andrew Jackson, 11, of East End Primary was the envy of his schoolmates as he lit up the centre of Elgin. This year's event was to have taken place on November 23, but preparations were delayed because of the floods which hit Elgin the weekend before Well done Betinad BTW Im Scottish through and through to LOL like thats a surprise

funny story that happened to me today:
as I was parking at my apartment building I noticed a new car parked next to mine (the spot has been empty for some time, and we have fixed park spots ... so that mean new neighbors)
when I was getting out of mine, and getting my groceries out, I heard "hi neighbor" ... a nice woman from the car next to mine was waving...
we introduced ourselves and I asked.. are you new to the building? she says : no, we happens to live here only half of the time... (intriguing look from me ) ... we are from Scotland !
I am surrounded....

Ooooh cool/weird Betina. You should ask them where in Scotland they're from.
Well, at least you can impress them by welcoming them to the building with some skirlie and a bottle of Glenfiddich LOL
